Oregon Shooter's Father Absolves Son: Guns,Not His Parenting To Blame

The father of the Oregon shooter who ruthlessly murdered 9 people at a community college in Umpqua, Oregon, insists that his son isn’t to blame for shooting innocent victims, but rather, ‘guns’ are to blame. The man absolving his son of responsibility is Ian Mercer and he made the statements during a CNN interview. A report in the Daily Beast claims that Mr. Mercer abandoned his son at birth–a factor that the father did not mention during his anti-gun rant on television.

Hate to bust Ian’s bubble, his son was ISIS.

Apparently Ian hasn’t seen his son in a couple of years. How much contact he had with him after the divorce isn’t clear. Regardless, I think Chris was working out some daddy issues.

Denial and the desire to justify themselves. The two of them in concert can turn the greatest angel into the worst demon.

Just wait till he starts saying the devil (whitey) made him do it.

Both this kid and the monster in Connecticut had two things in common. They were de facto bastards, raised in a single parent family with no normal male role model present. You will never rid the whole world of guns, regardless of how laudable you may think this is and bad people will always get them. The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun, we don’t have enough of them, and there were none at either of these two sites. Yes, people with severe mental problems shouldn’t have guns, but the overwhelming number of people with mental problems are not violent people. The problem is in the society itself: lack of moral principles, broken homes, male children growing up with no male role models.

“Mr. Mercer abandoned his son at birth–a factor that the father did not mention during his anti-gun rant on television.”.......

Now he’s trying to blame the gun for his failures as a father? The kid turned to Islam and worse to ISIS to take out his obvious frustrations having been abandon as a child.

White Racist father abandoned his half-black son after birth.

He is doing this to deflect blame from himself as a negligent parent or facilitator (with money?) and from potential civil lawsuits that would break him. His lawyer probably figured out this tack.

The governments of the USA and Oregon have hidden the fact that he was ISIS.This was done to prevent backlash against Muslim immigrants in the USA.

Horrid.

I recently saw a quote that goes something like this:
Every lie is two lies. The one you tell others, and the one you tell yourself to justify it.

This dad needs a dose of hard, cold truth because when dads do their jobs right, kids rarely go wrong.

Daddy can’t wash his hands of his pathetic kid so easily.

Today I placed my S&W .357 Revolver on the table right next to my front door. I left 6 cartridges beside it, then left it alone and went about my business.

While I was gone, the mailman delivered my mail, the neighbor across the street mowed the yard, a girl walked her dog down the street and quite a few cars stopped at the stop sign near the front of my house.

After about an hour, I checked on the gun. It was still sitting there, right where I had left it. It hadn’t moved itself outside. It certainly hadn’t killed anyone, even with the numerous opportunities it had been presented to do so.

In fact, it hadn’t even loaded itself. Well you can imagine my surprise, with all the hype by the Left and the media about how dangerous guns are and how they kill people. Either the media is wrong or I’m in possession of the laziest gun in the world.

The United States is 3rd in murders throughout the World.

But if you take out just 4 cities: Chicago, Detroit, Washington DC, and New Orleans, the United States is 4th from the bottom, in the entire world, for murders.

These 4 cities also have the toughest Gun Control Laws in the U.S.

ALL 4 of these cities are controlled by Democrats.
It would be absurd to draw any conclusions from this data right?
Breaking Today: the 60 million legal gun owners in the US did not shoot anyone

Well, I’m off to check on my spoons.
I hear they’re making people fat.
